From the Hague 7. Octob.
The Fleet under the command of Admiral Opdam bound
for Denmark, hath not been able to get to Sea, partly by reason
of contrary winds; and partly by reason of the boysterous
Sea: Some of the States are appointed to go to the Seaside to
forward the the Fleet to the Sea. In the mean time there is a
Galliot sent to the King of Denmark, to assure his Majesty
that the Fleet and the appointed succour lieth ready, staying
onely for wind and fit weather to perform the Voyage. The
Residents of Denmark have letters from Coppenhagen dated
29 Septem. which intimate, that they oppose the enemy
with great courage, every night 8000 men are on the walls
to oppose any attempts. They are well provided with victuals,
but are disheartned about the loss of Cronenberg,
